I have been looking into some stuff and for now the Philips oneblade looks like the most interesting option to me, does someone maybe have experience with it? How long do the blades last? Or are there any other alternatives you would recommend?

      I found out I can actually grow a terrible beard but before that, this was 100% the way to go.

      I have had problems with red spots after shaving most of my life. That all went away when I switched to a safety razor a few years ago. It doesn’t hurt that the blades are dirt cheap too.

        Foam up your face. Hold the Razor gently against your face. Do small gentle strokes. Dont press, just let the weight of the razorhead do the work. Rinse out regularly between strokes.

        I cut myself less with these actually. The good thing about it is it doesn’t cut so deep, so it doesn’t hurt your skin or result in ingrown hair (which is why you get the red spots). This also means that you have to shave a little more often, but also that the process is a bit quicker.

        I’ve bought a really good CNC milled razor for about 30€ that has a nice, well balanced weight. It’s solid aluminium. I’m sure it will outlast me.

        Edit: it’s some zinc-alloy.
